A Plain-Talking EAD Tag Library

<name> Name

<name> a generic element that encodes the proper noun or noun phrase designation for an entity that is difficult to tag more specifically as <corpname>, <famname>, <geogname>, <persname>, or <title>. It should be used when a high degree of precision is not necessary but the name should still be tagged for access.

Attributes

@altrender – not required. Use if the content of the element should be displayed or printed differently than the rendering established in a style sheet for other occurrences of the element.

@audience – not required. Use to set whether the element’s contents will be visible to external users or to internal ones. Possible values are: “internal” and “external.”

@encodinganalog – not required. May contain information to map this tag to relevant fields.

@id – not required. Creates an ID for element. Can be used for linking.

@identifier – not required. A machine-readable unique identifier related to the content of the element. On access terms and other elements whose content is drawn from an authority file, the unique identifier for the term being used. If this attribute is used, @source should also be used to identify the authority file.

@lang – not required. Three-letter code that indicates the language in which the element’s contents were written. It should come from ISO 639-2b.

@localtype – not required. This attribute may be used within a number of elements. Its use and values are not defined by the schema and may be defined locally.
